What is the next "big step" in your life?

Well what an appropriate question, so I can't help but answer.

It appears that the next step is motherhood. Yep. Amazing :)

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

Eek

Ok, hands up. I've been naughty and not kept updating this place. Seems life took over some :)

So, what's new pussycat? I've been waking up really early and finding myself watching the Olympics and laughing over people's names. A stray cat has been frequenting our flat confirming that the BF is in fact the crazy cat magnet that I always thought he was and to top it all I've started thinking I'm pregnant. Yeah. Nice one >.<

Oh my, wet wet wet. Strange silly British weather. I have actually made porridge this morning to warm myself up.

Happy July 4th for you Americans :)

On another note, just as I noticed it while watching the tennis here in the UK. What is it with Serena's earrings? Just look at the size of them! I guess I just don't get it or something but I remember when I was a kid I was always told how one should never wear earrings while doing sports in case they get caught. I know it's not a contact sport, but I still find myself wincing when she's playing!

If you have given or received a marriage proposal, will you share the story?

I have been proposed to once and I have proposed once.

The two guys in question were definitely not the ones for me; the first I knew when he asked me and the second took me about 2 years after me asking to realise.

Guy 1: I was at University still, second year. I was dating a guy I had met in my first year and unfortunately he became very sick. He'd had a heart transplant when he was 15 and (as is the risk for many transplant patients) developed cancer which had grown into a large football sized tumor in his abdomen. I stuck with him throughout his treatment and sometime aftter his recovery and he asked me to marry him and move back with him to Sheffield. I knew for me it was really the wrong thing to do. I don't know what made me think that, but I guess something just didn't feel right. I asked for some time to think because I didn't want to string him along and in the end I ended the relationship.

Guy 2: In the time I've kept this blog, I have written about this guy as I was living with him for several years. I proposed to him on Leap Day 4 years ago because it was what I thought I wanted. I did want to get married, just I realised some time later he just wasn't the right person to get married to.

It was probably one of the hardest things to do and I think I asked him at about 2 minutes to midnight of the Leap Day. I was cutting it fine ... maybe because deep down I knew already that he wasn't the one? :P I even got a ring for him and I cooked a nice meal and the whole time I just couldn't ask. I hid the ring under the pillow and couldn't being myself to ask until we were about to sleep. I think he couldn't believe I'd asked and his feelings were mixed about it - as if he'd wanted to ask (although I was pretty sure he never would).

Now I'm in a new relationship and although I know I'd marry him in a heartbeat, I'm not going to rush things along. I've tried the whole proposing thing and after realising how hard it was I have great respect for guys proposing. It ain't easy :)
